The tendency of netters to refrain from capitalization is unfortunate sometimes.
IBM sells some inexpensive, unsupported software under the name "Professionally
Developed Software". It is a series of software in which quite a large number
of generally useful programs are sold on a diskette for something in the range
of $19.95 to $49.95 (there may be some a little higher yet). This is cheap
enough that information about its capabilities is often passed around in the
same discussion groups with information about Freeware, Shareware, public
domain stuff, etc. So I believe your flame is unwarranted, given this knowledge.
